A renowned actor, this was Sheryl's first ever Emmy Award nomination and win, and to say everyone was so excited is an understatement.
The entire cast of Abbott Elementary started crying the minute Sheryl's name was announced, and good lord, it made me emotional. She was so stunned.
Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams helping Sheryl onto the stage. I cry.
The minute Sheryl took the stage, she immediately started singing Dianne Reeves's song "Endangered Species," and earned herself a much-deserved standing ovation from the entire audience.
Like, the whole audience was on their feet and so happy for her. It made the whole moment even more special.
She then went on to give a passionate speech about never giving up on her dreams while she thanked Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson for believing in her, her family, her friends, and more.
